Ginkgo Tree

Walking in a park I came across this Ginkgo tree. The tree is originally from China and does not reproduce in the wild. Lately they have found a couple of places that it does reproduce in the wild. The female fruit stinks and because of this the female tree has been banned in some places.

The oldest tree in China is about 3500 years old according to "The Ginkgo Pages".
